White balance can also be adjusted using the White balance option in 
the photo or movie shooting menu (

0 285, 289), which also can be 

used to fine-tune white balance (

0 163) or manage white-balance 

presets (

0 169). The Auto option in the White balance menu offers a 

choice of Keep white (reduce warm colors), Normal, and Keep warm 
lighting colors. Keep white (reduce warm colors) makes whites 
recorded under incandescent lighting appear white, while Keep warm 
lighting colors preserves the warm tints we normally perceive under 
incandescent lighting. The 

I Fluorescent option can be used to 

select the light source from the bulb types.

Auto white balance may not produce the desired results with large 
studio flash units. Use preset white balance or set white balance to 
Flash and use fine-tuning to adjust white balance.

White balance bracketing (

0 151) creates several copies of each 

photograph taken, varying white balance to “bracket” the current 
value.
